The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

Akshay rolled his eyes. He suddenly remembered the connection of Gawain to whatever reason why he was attempting to punch in his face. Gawain was related, kinda, to Emerald, his ex and it seemed as the gender-shifter had finally decided to do something about the matter. If there is one thing that Akshay should know well enough by now is to always watch out for siblings. They tended to really be the most vengeful in these types of situations.
Already feeling his jaw radiating heat, Akshay attempted to hold up his hands defensively…
>> "You know %+!&@ well that the hell! Ya think you can just dump my sister and I'm not gonna come after your sorry ass?!"
“God damn it, Gawain!” Akshay said, seeing the teen pull back for another punch.
Akshay blinked as suddenly he saw a word flicker into life in the air in front of him. Apparently he was a bit frazzled and didn’t keep his powers in check. Still…it could be useful. Quickly he snatched the word “GOD” from the air and held it between both himself and Gawain like a shield.
“Gawain! This isn’t the time and you definitely have the wrong impression!” Akshay shouted as he the word up between the two of them. “Besides, kicking my ass is going to get you nowhere! Now relax! Let me explain!”

It…had been ROUGH.
Poor Akshay has had just a hell of a time lately. Not only did his one relationship come to an end but he also woke up from a drunk night as pregnant, AND there was that…um….horrible week that he was just not going to mention right now. As a matter of fact, Akshay was simply not looking forward into coming into work for once. It really felt like he should have taken more time off but he knew that if he did he was going to have to offer a reason as to why.
Quite frankly, he didn’t want to offer any reasons. He simply wanted to go back into being regular old Akshay without the constant fear of women now.
He guessed that really the only way he could get to that point was to get back into some of his regular routines. Of course…that meant costumes.
Making today a special promotion day, Akshay had decided to dress up as one of the lesser known (but nonetheless badass heroes) The Hawk! Dressed all in purple, with a quiver attached to his back and a bow slung across his shoulder, Akshay smiled and waved to the few customers he had filtered in and out of his shop. Though he was sure he looked nothing like the real character, the costume was definitely spot on. Much better then The Hawk in that movie that came out last summer.
His day winding down, Akshay watched the last of his costumers leave as he set about closing up the register. It was an okay day, not ground-breaking, but definitely one to at least keep them open another week. Any day with a victory like that was worth it.
Slipping the key to the register inside of his locked drawer, Akshay was just about to set aside the rest of the receipts when--
>> "You."
Akshay actually jumped. Still a little frayed from his most recent encounters, he was about to scream but he spun around to see that least it wasn’t a woman! Instead…a very angry looking boy (though definitely with some feminine features. Kinda like a Justin Beaver type…) was glaring at him. How did he even get into his sho—
Oh a fist! CRAP!
“OoOF!” Akshay gasped as he felt the punch connect with his jaw. It was strong. Not enough to knock him off his feet but still enough to stagger him. Wow, he punched hard for a girl/boy. “Oooow!” Akshay winced and rubbed his jaw. He looked up to finally notice that it was Gawain. “Gawain? What the hell, man?”

>> "Very good! Everything's better when you do as you're told."[/color]
Akshay finished his dance and sighed as the music came to an end. The physical exertion of his movements, mixed with his confusion and fear, had made everything feel so surreal. He was tired but he knew that he couldn’t just walk away or fall dead to sleep. Not with this woman around. She may have had further plans for him when he was asleep. He couldn’t allow her to have that kind of advantage right now.
God, he felt so low. Her praises were a mixed blessing. Yes, he did well, but it was just all so demeaning. He was only some pet for her to play with and make do her bidding and that was something that the young wordsmith didn’t want to tolerate.
But he would have to if he wanted to live.
Akshay was shaken from his musings though as he found Chrys in a state of undress. He looked up, confusion plastered across his face as he watched this psychopath begin to strip down the dress he saw her wearing earlier that evening. Before long she was only in underclothes and his mind raced to think of what other possible hell she was going to put him through.
Apparently she gleaned his questioning mind from the mere look on his face.
>> "Um, it's reward time for good behavior." [/color]
Seriously? he thought to himself. The woman is pretty much kidnapping him, degrading him to animal status, and now she wants the evening to progress into this? YES, as said before, Akshay has no stranger to the odder sides of love making, but this was totally in a whole new ballpark!
>> "I freed your arms right? You can take off your own pants…Now ideally. Unless you don't want rewards."[/color]
“O-Okay…” Akshay said as he removed the jeans that he was still wearing from the club. Thank god she didn’t slice those off with a knife.
Down into just his “ Flying Fox” boxer shorts. Feeling suddenly self-conscious and shy, the dancer covered up the front of his boxers as he peered down to the floor. God…what else could this woman have up her sleeve? What did she even consider a “reward”?
Then he remembered the knife she held in her hand earlier and instantly the most fearful thing he (or any man!) could think of popped into his. He glanced down at his shorts, wondered where the knife she held earlier was, and a cold sweat appeared.
No! Not The Captain!!!! he scream inside his head. And such a girlie scream it was…

>> "There, that wasn't so bad, was it?"[/color]
Akshay felt so demeaned. That is not to say that Akshay hadn’t participated in few…scenarios with certain lovers in his past. Some of them could be downright freaky too and, let’s admit, even Akshay could get into it now and again. But this was just a whole new level of weird and fear inducing that he couldn’t rightly classify it in his head. Yes, the woman was extremely sexy but that didn’t mean he wanted to be kidnapped for a week and play house puppy.
Unfortunately it seemed that he was not going to have a choice when squaring off against this unadulterated psychopath. The knife she held was more than enough proof that she was willing to use it. And as much as he wanted to fight for his dignity, was it really worth his life?
Plus, from how she sounded, he doubted that he was going to get much say in.
Suddenly, though, he found himself being back up to his knees. She was pulling him up by the back of his shirt and he knew then that he didn’t like this form of power play. He really did feel completely helpless, to the point that he would do anything to get out of here. But, tired and his arms finally easing up in soreness, he remained on his knees as he lowered his head, trying to focus.
>> "Now dancing was fun, but I still want to see more."[/color]
The winced the second he felt that cool metal of the knife brush his skin. For a moment he figured that maybe she was going back on her word and she was going to kill him! He cringed and closed his eyes, offering up prayers to any and all gods that would head him. Thankfully, it seemed that wasn’t her intentions. He felt his shirt being slit apart by the blade until finally it was just tatters hanging about him. With the shirt removed, he suddenly began to feel very self-conscious.
>> "You're going to dance for me some more so I can see how you work. Play nice, and I'm happy to reward you…You dance like the marvelous machine you are, and I'll leave all your ligaments intact! Remember: You've already seen what happens if you try hurting me, so there's pretty much no point." [/color]
Handcuffs were removed and his arms slumped to his sides. Sorely he rubbed his wrists as he remained on his knees, staring at the floor in front of him. What did he get himself into? This woman was crazy and she definitely had the upper hand right now. She was right, if he attacked her, would he just get hurt in the process? So what if he even knocked her out, would he knocked out too? She had a power that linked them, somehow, and that was a terrifying prospect. Though it seemed like he could have worked it to his advantage…she liked[/b] the pain! She was crazy…
>> "Okay, dance now."[/color]
Music filtered out from expensive speakers to the point that he could feel it resonating inside of his chest. Clearly the woman was well off. Why was it that all the psychos had the money in the world? Shaking his head he merely remained there, on his knees, slouched and staring at the ground. The beat was picking up but he didn’t have the will yet to move. The situation was weighing heavy upon him that he was in trouble here.
Goddamn he thought to himself.
When it seemed as if he weren’t going to move at all, he suddenly moved onto his feet along with the beat, making it seem natural and robotic at the same time. Blending in with the music, Akshay popped, twisted, and danced. Though his body may have enjoyed the music, in his mind he was only hoping to survive…one day at a time…

Yeah, Akshay had a big mouth. Though he was a bit scared by his current situation, he had hoped that by calling her bluff it would be revealed that all of this was just a tease of sorts. But it was quickly becoming apparent that such a thing was never going to happen. The mysterious vibe he was getting from Chrys earlier was quickly turning into full on fear. It was very slowly becoming apparent that this was indeed not just a game to the young woman.
She was serious.
>> "Silly Akshay. I already had a kitty. He's gone now."[/color]
The words were terrifying to hear. It was obvious what the connotations of what she was saying were. She was threatening him. And not only with physical violence but his eradication from this earth! This was further proven when he felt her straddle his sides, lean in, and pull something sharp and incredibly pointy against his cheek.
The knife she was holding earlier. Whatever it was against his skin was cold and seemed thirsty for blood of some kind. Yeah, he was definitely not in some kind of game here. The woman played for keeps and Akshay was little more than a toy right now.
Or, as it should be clarified, a pet…
>> "You are a puppy… Now bark... or I'll have to find another puppy to play with."[/color]
“Ow, Ow! Okay! Okay!” Akshay winced. His arms were hurting so badly, especially with the pressure of her sitting on his back.
Not that Chrys was heavy or something (he definitely was not going to be calling her fat while he was in this position) but his awkward angle and the fact that she was sitting on his twisted arms only added to the pain and paranoia he was already feeling. He wanted to get out of here, but quickly it was becoming apparent that the only way he would achieve this was if he played along. However demeaning it was, he was not going to gamble with his life again. Not anymore.

Akshay, with whatever Chrys gave him now wearing off, was beginning to just now start to get some of his strength back. Not that it was going to do him much good, especially since he was still handcuffed, had a massive headache, and there was a collar wrapped around his neck. Still, as uncomfortable as he was, he attempted to stand. He had already gone through too much and he was not going to allow himself to be demoted down to the status of a dog!
But, as fierce and awesome as his manly voice boomed inside of his own head, all he managed to produce in the real world was a pretty sad squeak and groan for his efforts in trying to stand. God, he was getting old. For as limber as his limbs were, he was having a pretty tough time just forcing himself to stand up.
It got worse, though. Just as he began to make some advances, that demonic seductress strolled over, placed a high-heel (which he could only assume had the pointiest damn heel he ever imagined) into his back and started to apply the pressure.
“Ah! Goddamn!” he snarled as he felt the heel dig into his skin. This was definitely not a pleasant feeling.
>> "No. Bad. Be good and we'll play Doctor. Be bad…And we can play surgeon."[/color]
Remaining on the floor, he barely managed to turn his head in to time see what she was referring to. Glancing over to the wall, immediately he any manhood he had shrivel up and hide in the pit of his stomach. What the hell was he looking at? It was a belt that was lined with various metal, shiny implements of medical torture! Some of which he recognized, others he could only surmise were for doctor’s with female patients! Gawd, this woman really was craz—
He winced as he felt the heel push harder into his back. This time it was complete agony since that part of his back was already sensitive due to the first time that she stepped on him. Now, it was on fire since she was applying even more pressure to his back. It didn’t cross his mind that she was also in pain (as demonstrated by the pin used earlier) since he was in far too much to care.
>> "Now...Bark."[/color]
The order flew in one ear and out the other. His mind raced as he tried to think of some way out of this horrible situation but he was coming up blank. He couldn’t do much handcuffed and she definitely didn’t seem afraid of pain. Therefore, that left him with one option…

>> "Oh no, silly, it's nothing like that! I kidnapped you…You're my pet now!"[/color]
Yeah…this was really not going the way he thought it was going. Not only was a massive headache beginning to settle into the back of his skull, but now he was dealing with a bona fide loon! Still handcuffed, he felt the small tug on his neck and tried to crane his head down to see what it was. The first thing that he noticed was the length of chain that was held in Chrys’ hand. His eye following it, he found that indeed it was getting closer and closer until it disappeared somewhere around his neck. Was he wearing a collar?
Just…what kinda freaky stuff was this girl into? Gawd, of course that would be his luck when getting hit on in a bar. First he ends up pregnant and he is going to be someone’s pet? He needed to put a stop to this before it really got too far out of hand.
“Listen, lady—“
>> "Puppy rules!”[/color]
“Wha--?” He could scarcely get a word in. Chyrs seemed to be overly excited about this new adventure; that made one of them.
>> "One: this is your room. Unless I take you somewhere else, you stay here. You try to leave…I'll punish you."[/color]
He was about to attempt to stand and protest when he watched her grab and sharp pin and stick it into her skin. Akshay nearly yelled out what was wrong with her but the words never got to leave his mouth. Instead all he said was—
“Ow! Sonnavabi--!!” he winced as he felt a sharp stab in his shoulder. A glance over to the pained skin, he could see he wasn’t bleeding, bruised, there wasn’t even a mark! How did he feel that sensation of being poked with a pin when Chrys was all the way—
Crap. No, it couldn’t be. Was she a mutant? Worst of all, was she a KINKY[/b] mutant?!
>> "Two: When I want to play games, we play. If you play, it will hurt. You misbehave, it will hurt more. You misbehave too much...Well, then I reconsider letting you go at the end of the week…Questions?"[/color]
He was still in shock when he saw her pick up the knife. Slowly he connected dots, made assumptions, tried to figure out anything that was going on. But no matter what he thought of, all he could come up with was madness. Did the woman really just kidnap him with the purpose of keeping him for a week as a pet? Just what kind of sicko was she?
It was only then that the saw the knife resting in her hand. With the demonstration she just did with the pin, he felt a swelling of paranoia in his chest. In disbelief he eyed the woman.
“Are you out of your goddamn mind?” he announced, trying to stand again. “You can’t do this to people!”

The haze was still pretty heavy over Akshay’s eyelids. He couldn’t find the will to actually open them to take in the world around him but with every passing second he knew that he had to. The feeling of being restrained was getting stronger and, on top of that, it was making the panic inside of heart begin to swell up. That was steadily beginning to counteract any feelings of wanting to stay asleep, pumping his heart to near inhumane levels.
Stirring a bit more, Akshay attempted to sit up but found that his body just felt far too heavy. Was he really that drunk?
>> "Oh goodie, you're back!"[/color]
The excited voice cut through the haze of his grogginess. For a moment he wasn’t sure why it sounded so loud but as his mind began to clear up, he realized, indeed, that he was listening to Chrys. Why did she sound so excited? Sure, she was displaying some excitement back at the bar but shouldn’t that part of the night already be over? God, he hoped that she wasn’t the clingy type.
He groaned as he attempted to sit up again. This time, finally achieving it, he groaned and nearly fell over. It was only at that point that he finally realized that he was indeed restrained! His hands were handcuffed behind his back!
What the…?
>> "Welcome home, puppy!"[/color]
He blinked.
Finally shaking off the blurriness, he gazed out across the room and found that he was in a living room of sorts. It was pretty posh! On top of that, he finally realized he was not lying on a bed, but was instead on a very cushiony carpet. This had to be Chrys’ penthouse; it would explain the opulent décor that was all around. But seriously, handcuffs?
He shook his head as he looked up to Chrys, whom he found sitting eagerly at the edge of a loveseat, eyes wide with anticipation.
Curiously, he tilted his head.
“Um…Chrys? You know I’m into all sorts of stuff,” he said with a shrug. “Even kinky stuff every now and then, but a word of warning would be appreciated first.”

Oh he was having such a nice dream. There was music blaring, sensual dancing, great tasting alcohol, even several girls, all of which wanted to rip his clothes off. Akshay liked these dreams because they always ended well. And they always ended well because they were his[/b] dreams and no one elses. And this was a particularly good one. As a matter of fact, if he died in his sleep, this was probably the dream he would have liked to have gone out having.
But there was something off about this dream too. He didn’t want to admit it because it was too sweet and far too awesome to just give up on. But he couldn’t shake the sensation that something was just plain off.
But what? He danced. He drank. He partied with scantily clad women. All of it was pretty much the norm!
Then…why did he feel so restrained? He was actually struggling to keep up with the dance moves that he knew he could do. His head was also throbbing. Normally these kinds of things could simply be attributed to being drunk but no, not this time. Something was definitely wrong.
He did a turn, trying to see what was behind his back in his dream but for whatever reason he couldn’t move far. That sensation of being restrained coursed back into his mind. It seemed that no matter how hard he flailed or moved, there was always something holding him back; like a fuzzy blanket wrapped too tightly around his brain.
Panic slowly set in, which was quickly followed by a need to be free. He struggled, turned, and yet still could find no way out. This wasn’t a dream. It was a nightmare!
***
Akshay gasped and coughed as suddenly he felt the sensation of reality crashing down on his head. At least that would explain the pain he felt. The massive migraine that surged behind his eyes was one of the reasons as to why he began to stir. It was far too painful to ignore with sleep so the only thing he could do was awaken.
Eyes slowly fluttering open as grogginess set in, Akshay found himself lying on his back on something incredibly soft. It felt like a bed. He would have confused it for his own bed (and for a brief second he did) but he knew he didn’t have a bed this soft. But if that were the case, then where the heck was he?
Chrysanthemum. The word floated in his head. And he knew then that it wasn’t just a word, but a name.
Akshay slowly began to remember; Chrys, the girl that he met at the bar, right? Wasn’t he…um…wasn’t he going home with her? Was this her bed? He would have smirked at the idea but suddenly that feeling of restraint came back. He attempted to sit up but something was preventing him. He would have to think on this as he attempted to shake the grogginess away…

>> "Sounds like a plan."[/color]
Yessssss!
Akshay could not have been happier. As he paid the shocked bartender for the drinks, he really had to think back over the night. Though it was short, he could not stop counting his lucky stars. This woman was hot, exotic, and a complete mystery to him! And, not only all of those things, she was the one mainly coming onto him! What luck, right? Though he didn’t know if this night was going to lead to anything extensive, he was just as happy living it in the here and now.
Hell, whether or not this night continued on past tonight, who cares!? This girl definitely seemed totally worth it.
After paying the drinks, he let Chrys lead the way outside. He was not sure how she got here but he would have been more than happy to give her a ride to either his house or hers. He was not about to start getting pushing and full of assumptions. He would let Chrys call the shots for now.
He paused the second the night air lashed across his skin and he smiled. It was cool tonight and that made things all the better. A glance to Chrys and he watched as she began to dig through her purse. Maybe she did have a ride here?
>> "Hey sweetie, if you don't mind, could we bring things to my penthouse? I need to... um, feed my kitten."[/color]
…
…ahem.
“Sure! I love cats. Um, if you want I can get us there,” he said as he fished around in his pocket for his keys. “So long as you don’t mind riding on a ducati!” He said as he motioned to the silver ducati parked down the way. He then nodded for her to follow. “Come on,” he said as he turned his back to her. “I have an extra helmet you can wear.”

“CANDI! BABE!” Unis shouted with a mixture of surprise and joy. “Did you find your car?”
Candi, apparently, rolled her eyes as she looked at both Jean and Akshay on the floor. “These two morons were supposed to bring it back. Uni, what’re you doing to them? What…happened?”
It seemed to Akshay as if Unis hadn’t actually been able to get out that she was a mutant. And…she was with another woman? Well, that certainly explained a lot since the two seemed to be a match made in a sociopathic heaven. Akshay tried to focus through the blinding pain in his stomach and leaned up to glare at the two of them. Unis had begun to explain she was a mutant and what her grand plan was. Candi stood there, arms crossed, and eyed her partner cautiously. When she was done, Candi just shook her head.
“THAT is why you wanted to take these two home, last night?” she growled. “Uni, you left me behind! And…I can’t believe you would rather someone else carry your child but me! We’ve been looking at our options this whole time and had this amazing power and you never told me? How could you?”
“I…I know love. I know,” she said with a hung head. “I just…I didn’t want to put you through that kind of pain.”
“But, Uni…what if that’s what I want…?”
“C-Candi? R-R-Really? Aww baby…”
“Hunny…”
“HELLO! BIRTHING HERE!” Akshay finally gasped. He was in such pain right now that he could barely keep his focus. “Please, Unis, stop this. Please. You win, okay? You’re a better dancer and I feel SO bad for not returning your affection way back when! Just please!”
Hugging Candi close to her, Unis arched her brow as she looked down at Akshay. The man really did look pathetic just withering around down on the dance floor. A glance to her lover and Unis took up her hand. Pulling her over to Akshay, she carefully moved onto her knees while holding onto Candi’s hand. Brushing her fingers across Akshay’s bulging stomach, she smiled sweetly to Candi, closed her eyes, and began to glow.
In the midst of his pain, Akshay suddenly stopped. In confusion he sat up and turned his attentions back onto Unis before looking down and finally his usual flat stomach there. He sighed in relief as he turned to see that Candi now had the same, hug belly that Akshay had once had; she just seemed much better at handling the pain. She sighed a bit in shock and waddled away while Akshay moved onto his feet and looked back to Unis.
“Unis…”
She only offered him a glance before she stood up and lovingly embraced her partner. But with her back turned to Akshay, she whispered, “You can go.”
Not wanting to make the situation worse for them, Akshay stood up and quietly grabbed Jean by the arm. He felt absolutely no more pain or discomfort or cravings! He was free! Free from the shackles of motherhood!
He gave one final glance to Unis and Candi. Hopefully they wouldn’t be upset over the car. He doubted that Candi would care much now that she was pregnant. Hoping this would be the last of it, Akshay gave the pair of glowing females a salute before tugging Jean along with him towards the door. It was obvious that Jean wanted to go off for all the torture they’ve been through today but right now was so not the time. Instead, they needed to breathe the free air of being men and run off into the night.
Though they would both probably stay away from spiked alcohol for the time being…

Haha, yeah, that was just not going to happen. Akshay put in maybe two or three well placed dance moves, working around his new girth, but in the end he just succumbed to the growing pain that was radiating out from his stomach. He winced and cried out, barely managing something close to a good dance move before he coiled over in pain and fell onto the dance floor. Breathing hard and holding onto the bulbous mound, he struggled to sit up. Thankfully, Jean seeing him on the ground, immediately prompted his friend to come running onto the dance floor.
“I win! HAH! I FINALLY WIN!!”
Jean growled as he knelt next to Akshay. He snapped his attention to Unis with hateful eyes. “Are you out of your damn mind! You’re going to kill him! And just because you want him to be your baby-daddy!?”
Unis shrugged.
“To be honest I’m over you, Akshay,” she pronounced cooly and crossed her arms over her chest. “I really just need someone to be my guinea pig. You see, I am already with someone and it breaks my heart because we want to have kids and neither of us can. SO…I figured…why not you, Akshay?”
At that moment another lightning strike of pain shot through his body. The wordsmith growled and snapped as his fingernails dug into the dance floor pressed into his back. He really didn’t think that this type of pain was imaginable but he really didn’t have the time to think about it at the moment. Instead he was too concentrated on trying to keep from breaking all his teeth from clenching his jaw so tightly.
Unis just smirked as she loomed over both Akshay and Jean. “Oh well. I get to be dance champion AND you get to have my baby! This is SO my day.”
Akshay gasped and cried out as he held onto his stomach. This was the end of him. It had to be. There was no witting charm, dance move, or running away from this mess. He was completely and utterly done for. All he could do was accept his fate and die…giving birth…
“Uni?” a voice asked through the gloom of the pain. “What the hell is going on?”
Weakly Akshay looked up and saw a woman standing in the doorway to the apartment, black Mohawk and piercings all over her face. The same angry looking woman that was demanding her car earlier…

Akshay couldn’t believe his ears. This woman, a former obsessed stalker and now nemesis, wanted to beat him in a dance contest? It was slowly clicking together. The last time that Unis had tried to convince him of her love, she had followed him to a dance club that was having a local contest. The winner won a tiny trophy and a $50 gift card to the Sizzler. Really? That what all this was about? On top of the unrequited love, she just wanted to beat him in dancing? Was she really so out of her mind?
Moving onto his two feet, Akshay waddled over to the den, a look of shock and irritation on his face.
“Really, Unis?” he asked in angry. “You made me pregnant with your baby clone all because you wanted beat me in a dance off?”
Unis shrugged. “And for you to have my baby. That way, she can grow up with both your dancing skills and mine. She was be the greatest.”
“Unis! You cannot dance!”
“Oh yeah?” Unis countered! Slowly she began her dance of awesomeness, moving around Akshay and trying to display her mad skillz. The wordsmith could only stare at her in shock as she tried her best to connect with the beat, but it was obvious that she was just not getting it.
Akshay could only sigh.
“Dammit, Unis. Just stop,” he said as he grabbed her arms. “You need to stop this. You can’t just treat people like this.”
Unis twirled “elegantly” away from his grip, shaking her head. “Uh-uh! Play by my rules, Akshay!”
The wordsmith hung his head. He really, really didn’t want to do this. Especially since the pain in his stomach was getting just a tad bit worse. But, seeing has he had no choice against this demented harpy, he waited for the appropriate beat…and started to dance.

Akshay. Was. Floored. Leila Gunnderson was actually Unis Ledge? He knew that name far too well! She is the sister of Newman Ledge and someone who stalked him pretty much for a year. Akshay, running into Newman at one convention, meant Unis. She was around Akshay’s age and she was completely enamored with the young wordsmith from then on. For a year Ashay received phone calls, text messages, even strange gifts left at his apartment! All this was despite the fact that he made it perfectly clear to Unis that he wasn’t interested in her. And not because the Unis he knew was overweight, wore thick glasses, and braces! But because she was just obsessively weird!
Now though, apparently she was back. And boy was this was change compared to who she was used to be!
“Unis?” Akshay asked cautiously. “You look…”
“Fantastic? I know,” she grinned though her eyes narrowed dangerously. “See what you missed out on?”
Akshay shook his head. “Unis, I didn’t reject you, because, you know, of how you looked.”
“Whatever. Liar.”
“No! Unis! No. I rejected you because you started to leave dead birds in boxes in front of my doorstep!”
“Those were gifts of love!”
“Maybe from a cat!” Akshay grumbled and clenched his stomach. Why was the pain suddenly starting? “Ugh, dammit, Unis, what did you do to me?”
Leila/Unis grinned as she eyed Akshay closely. “My bear brother isn’t the only one who is a mutant. It is all complicated and such, but here is the gist, my dear Akshay. I want a child, but I cannot. My mutation has kinda…thrown my ability to reproduce for a loop. What I can do, is, replicate myself…but only in another living, human host. That is why… chose you. I want my child, Akshay. And you are going to be the daddy. Unless…”
Akshay arched his brows. There was hope that didn’t include that terrifying thought? “Unless what?!”
Leila/Unis stood, arching her back a little before the two boys, and made her way over to the small dance floor that was situated in her den. Clapping her hands, music filtered in from hidden speakers. Slowly she swayed her shapely hips in beat with the music and smiled devilishly at Akshay.

The introductions were a little…odd. Leila, thankfully turned out to be home, was a little stunned ( he could tell from her voice) at hearing from him. All he could hope was that she knew something about what had happened. After all, she was the last person to see him last night. But even as they sat in her rather…spacious apartment (it had its own mini dance floor in the den!), Akshay could not help but wonder how to proceed. She eyed his stomach but the strangest part of that is that it didn’t seem as if she was all that surprised. Or she had a magnificent poker face. Or she was just used to New York!
Either way, Akshay simply unsure on how to proceed from here. He sat on the comfy, pink sofa, next to Jean, and watched the woman in the leather armchair across from him. Also, the I.D. card photo did not do her appearance justice. She was just drop dead gorgeous! Shiny blonde hair, tight white tank top, and so short denim shorts that revealed her toned legs. If Akshay really had left the bar with her, he really would have thanked his lucky stars.
But now, how could he tell this goddess that he didn’t remember a damn thing from last night? Would she take it as an insult? He would have asked Jean to take the lead on this but Jean was too slack-jawed to actually say anything. Great help he was.
Akshay turned his attention back to the blonde sitting across from them.
“Um…”
“Does it hurt?” she suddenly asked.
Akshay was in the middle of rubbing his stomach. He shook his head in response. “This? Oh, no. Just…you know, irritating.”
Leila grumbled and shook her head. Akshay eyed her closely. Why did she look…disappointed?
“Um, I’m sorry, but did you…?”
“Do this to you?” she asked. “Of course. You were supposed to be writhing in pain all day.” She huffed and crossed her legs.
Jean was snapped out of his daze as he eyed the woman. “What? Who…?”
She turned her full attention to Akshay without looking at Jean. “Akshay, you sure did look surprised when I told you who I was last night. I guess all it takes it a some plastic surgery, a name change, and a few drinks to get your attention.”
Akshay could only blink as he stared at the woman dumbfounded. Who was she?
“Leila Gunnerson?” she smirked as she started to file her nails. “Sounds so much better than Unis Ledge.”
